    Just on the back of what teehee has said please girls be careful with the info you post on here. For example we now all know Deborah's full name, job (which includes knowing nearly how much you get paid) wedding date and venue.

    Please (and I'm sorry to sound like your mother) don't share too much information on here because everything you post on Hitched is available on google and there have been stories about a hitchers wedding getting FULLY cancelled because some idiot thought it would be funny/nasty/evil to cancel it.

    Hiya

    I notice you're getting married in a manor house in Bromsgrove - presumably Grafton Manor? My wedding is also at Grafton in June 2012 - do you know anything about a new marquee?

    ETA: Sorry I didn't look at the date this thread was started so only just realised it's an old thread and I've probably replied twice but I haven't read through all the pages again. I thought it was a new thread, doh!

    Hi everyone,

    I'm a tiara & jewellery HIB so I try my best to help with any advice but it's getting hard to keep up with all the newbies as I'm kept so busy with orders.

    My wedding was 23rd May 2009 and I can't believe it's nearly 2 years since I got hitched! When people say it flies in when you are planning well believe me it goes even quicker after the event.

    Random/interesting fact about you or your wedding: I couldn't have cared less about matching colours up.

    I'm also a serial flasher of the wedding dress kind so I will take this opportunity to say have a nosey at my wedding album and put a face to the name www.jbdavies.co.uk/boyle/album2.

    xx
